Windows & Linux Dual-boot?

Question

I want to Install both Windows XP & Linux (Fedora 10) in a same workstation. However problem is I'd like to use Windows XP boot-loader instead of the boot-loader providing in Fedora.

But when I install XP first & then Fedora; thus comes Fedora boot-loader.
First install Fedora & then XP; thus comes XP boot-loader but there ain't place to chose for boot Fedora. i.e. boot-loader carrying only Windows XP.

Is there any way that I could possibly use XP boot-loader for both OSs?
